Labour Court rejects union claim to upgrade Liebherr production cleaners

The Labour Court did not recommend the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union’s claim to re-grade ten production cleaners at Liebherr as Grade 4 semi-skilled workers. The recommendation was signed on 15 November 2001. The union said the work required training and skills consistent with Grade 4 status. Liebherr said the job required no previous experience or formal training and involved fewer skills than semi-skilled roles. The Court said it found no sound basis for the union’s claim.
